Try getting chef-prepared meals. This was especially important in our first day in the villa, after the 3.5 hour ride down from Rome. It allowed us to relax and unwind without having to go out to dinner.Directions:

Chez Black was wonderful!
We brought body wash, shampoo, there was some there. They did have hair dryers. No wash clothes in Italy.
Also went to Da Adolfo. Lots of fun. Great fish just a little rustic. No frills here. It's fine but just be prepared.Directions:
No problems finding it, however we did hire a driver through the property manager who picked us up in Rome and drove us to the villa.Check In Out:
Everything went very very smoothly. Filomena was outstanding!! So very helpful with check in. We were going on to Capri for four nights. Our ferry was cancelled from Positano. Filomena was so incredible. She helped us make new arrangements. Don't know what we would have done without her. Great job!! She's the best!

On edge of Positano and yes, easy walking. Ferries available to Capri and other destinations. Fifteen minutes or so to Sorrento.Directions:
GPS works well and you can also use Google maps and go to street level to see the nearby hotel and the parking area (under construction in the photos).Check In Out:
About as easy as it can be since the local agents are very flexible with a bit of advance notification.

Overall:
There were ten family members in our party and they all thoroughly enjoyed the villa. The views from the villa were stunning. The villa itself was great. Good size bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Two hot tubs, one inside and one outside. Overall experience was excellent. Enjoyed Most:
A well-maintained villa overlooking Positano and the sea. Daily cleaning service made life easy. All rooms were ensuite. Views were outstanding. Kitchen was very well-equipped. Very comfortable, not stuffy. Great staff!!!Enjoyed Least:
Need some softer pillows. Otherwise, everything was superb!!Surrounding Area:
We enjoyed Positano. Just a short 900 steps down to the sea or a walk down the local road.
We hiked the trails above Positano and the other villages in the area. Enchanting!! We visited Amalfi, Ravello, Capri, Pompeii, Sorrento...all unique and fun. We did not have enough time to do all that we wanted.Nearby Events or Locales:
Poistano. Yes, a short walk down the road or steps down to town. Not for faint of heart...very vertical area, but gorgeous.Tips or Restaurants:
Bring shampoo, hand soap, and laundry detergent. The cleaning person will do your personal laundry, as long as you bring or buy detergent. Ziplock bags were not locally available...bring some, very helpful. Good restaurant in Positano "Three Sisters", down by the beach. In Montpertuso (up the hill from Positano) for dinner "Donna Rosa", for lunch in Montpertuso, Schirocco (great food and wonderful views). Directions:
We did not use GPS and arrived to our destination with relative ease, following the directions.Check In Out:
Everything went very smoothly.

Overall:
The overall experience was excellent. The villa was beautiful; the location was wonderful; gorgeous views of the town and the sea, with easy access to town either by foot or taxi/van. There were 10 of us - 8 adults and 2 children, ages 5 and 9 - and this villa provided something for everyone.Enjoyed Most:
It was elegant and beautifully decorated, but usable. The terrace was spacious and provided gorgeous vistas.Enjoyed Least:
The 917 steps to the beach, although we got used to it. It was actually shorter than walking to the beach by the road.
